- the present invention relates generally to the viewing and navigation of digital visual content. More particularly, the present invention relates to the viewing and navigation of digital visual content as the digital visual content is in the process of being loaded for viewing on a display screen.
- the web browser begins to display the web page before all of the page's content has loaded by the user's device. For example, the web browser may display some text before associated graphics have arrived.
- this creates an issue in correctly displaying the entire web page while the loading process is in process. If, during the loading process, a user scrolls the view into the middle of a web page that is still being downloaded, the viewed location will have a tendency to “jump” during the loading process when additional material is downloaded above or before the view location.
- the browsing issue discussed above may not be particularly problematic because the displays on such devices are large.
- a device has a broadband, ISDN, or similar high-speed connection
- the document layout will quickly “freeze” due to the web page being loaded very quickly.
- mobile electronic devices, less efficient computers, and computers using a modem connection do not typically possess these benefits.
- the displays on such devices are usually quite small, and the connection speed is relatively slow.
- the processors on such devices are often not nearly as powerful as those on desktop and laptop computers. As a result of all of these factors, the relatively long period of time required to obtain all of the images on a page results in significant jumping of the view, and this jumping can occur for a relatively long period of time after the first page content is initially displayed.
- the present invention provides for an improved system and method of displaying web pages and similar content while the content is being loaded.
- the “view” location of the page on a device's display is maintained based upon the content actually appearing on the display, instead of being based on the page origin itself.
- the point according to which the view location is maintained is the part of the page that is shown in the upper left corner of the display. In this way, if the page layout above or before the view location changes as a result of the loading process, the user's view would remain as it was.
- the present invention can be implemented in conjunction with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional content.
- the present invention provides important benefits over conventional systems. With the rapid development of mobile devices that are capable of accessing web pages, more and more users are faced with the issue of having the web page view jump during loading.
- the present invention alleviates or eliminates this issue. This issue can also be alleviated or eliminated in larger devices, such as desktop computers.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to the viewing and navigation of digital visual content. More particularly, the present invention relates to the viewing and navigation of digital visual content as the digital visual content is in the process of being loaded for viewing on a display screen.
- Over the past decade, the Internet has become a larger and larger part of people's daily lives. Individuals now use the Internet for activities ranging from consumer shopping to business management to general leisure activities. In performing these activities, individuals use a variety of different web browsers to display information from remote sites.
- Currently, when a user accesses a remote web page using a web browser, the web browser begins to display the web page before all of the page's content has loaded by the user's device. For example, the web browser may display some text before associated graphics have arrived. However, this creates an issue in correctly displaying the entire web page while the loading process is in process. If, during the loading process, a user scrolls the view into the middle of a web page that is still being downloaded, the viewed location will have a tendency to “jump” during the loading process when additional material is downloaded above or before the view location. For example, if a large image whose size is not set in the HTML or XML mark-up arrives at the user's device for display near the upper left corner of the page while the user is viewing text at the center of the page, the locations of already-rendered page elements are forced to change. In a worst case scenario, the material that the user is reading will literally be forced off of the display by the newly loaded material.
- In the case of desktop computers and similar devices, the browsing issue discussed above may not be particularly problematic because the displays on such devices are large. Furthermore, when a device has a broadband, ISDN, or similar high-speed connection, the document layout will quickly “freeze” due to the web page being loaded very quickly. However, mobile electronic devices, less efficient computers, and computers using a modem connection do not typically possess these benefits. The displays on such devices are usually quite small, and the connection speed is relatively slow. Furthermore, the processors on such devices are often not nearly as powerful as those on desktop and laptop computers. As a result of all of these factors, the relatively long period of time required to obtain all of the images on a page results in significant jumping of the view, and this jumping can occur for a relatively long period of time after the first page content is initially displayed.
- The present invention provides for an improved system and method of displaying web pages and similar content while the content is being loaded. During the rendering/downloading process, the “view” location of the page on a device's display is maintained based upon the content actually appearing on the display, instead of being based on the page origin itself. For example, the point according to which the view location is maintained is the part of the page that is shown in the upper left corner of the display. In this way, if the page layout above or before the view location changes as a result of the loading process, the user's view would remain as it was. The present invention can be implemented in conjunction with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional content.
- The present invention provides important benefits over conventional systems. With the rapid development of mobile devices that are capable of accessing web pages, more and more users are faced with the issue of having the web page view jump during loading. The present invention alleviates or eliminates this issue. This issue can also be alleviated or eliminated in larger devices, such as desktop computers.
- These and other objects, advantages and features of the invention, together with the organization and manner of operation thereof, will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like elements have like numerals throughout the several drawings described below.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show one representativemobile telephone 12 within which the present invention may be implemented. It should be understood, however, that the present invention is not intended to be limited to one particular type ofmobile telephone 12 or other electronic device. Themobile telephone 12 ofFIGS. 2 and 3 includes ahousing 30, adisplay 32 in the form of a liquid crystal display, akeypad 34, amicrophone 36, an ear-piece 38, abattery 40, aninfrared port 42, anantenna 44, asmart card 46 in the form of a UICC according to one embodiment of the invention, acard reader 48,radio interface circuitry 52,codec circuitry 54, acontroller 56 and amemory 58. Individual circuits and elements are all of a type well known in the art, for example in the Nokia range of mobile telephones. - The present invention involves an improved system and method for rendering/downloading a web page or similar content, wherein the portion of the page that is viewed by the user, referred to herein as the view location, is maintained in a constant position according to the content that appears on the user's display, as opposed to the overall content of the page or content being downloaded. This content can be stored locally in the
memory 58, or it can be downloaded via wired or wireless communication from other devices. -
FIG. 4 is a representation showing a typical Internet 28web page 60 in combination with adisplay 32 superimposed thereon. Theweb page 60 can includegraphics 62,text 64, and other objects. As can clearly be observed, theentire web page 60 cannot be viewed on thedisplay 32 at one time. Current browsers typically maintain the viewed location on a web page based upon the distance from the upper left corner of the page. - According to the present invention, a point on the
display 32 is used as the point of reference during the process of loading content onto the electronic device. For example, the point of reference for the setup shown inFIG. 4 can comprise the portion of theweb page 60 that is shown in the upperleft corner 66 of thedisplay 12. In the event that anew object 68 or a new portion of theweb page 60 is downloaded to the electronic device above a portion of theweb page 60 visible in thedisplay 32, the portion of theweb page 60 that can be seen in thedisplay 32 is not affected. In prior art systems, the reference point would typically comprise a specific corner of theweb page 60, regardless of where the page was positioned on thedisplay 32. In such a prior art instance, if thenew object 68 were downloaded while thedisplay 32 showed the content depicted inFIG. 4 , thedisplay 32 would “jump” in order to compensate for the change in size or shape of theweb page 60 as a result of thenew object 68. - In the event that the
new object 68 or a new portion of theweb page 60 is positioned such that it would appear somewhere within theweb page 60 that is shown in thedisplay 32, the viewed portion of theweb page 60 on thedisplay 32 would change. However, such a change within thedisplay 32 would be expected by the user, and any potential “jumping” effect would be modest in comparison to the jump that would otherwise occur with anew object 68 that appears above and/or before the viewed portion of theweb page 60. Furthermore, this particular situation would be relatively rare compared to the occurrences of new content appearing above the viewed portion of theweb page 60. - As mentioned above, the upper
left corner 66 of theweb page 60 portion appearing on thedisplay 32 can be used as the reference point for the implementation of the present invention. This location may be particularly beneficial when either theweb page 60 at issue or the user utilizes a Germanic language, such as English, Spanish, French, German or Italian, where text is read from left to right. In such a situation, a user will typically begin scrolling through theweb page 60 from the upperleft corner 66 of theweb page 60. However, where the user's language or the language used on theweb page 60 is read from right to left, such as Hebrew and Arabic, it may instead be desirable to use the upperright corner 67 of the content appearing on thedisplay 32 as the reference point. Additionally, any other point besides the upper right and left corners, such as a center point or the middle of the upper edge, or in some cases even the lower left or right corners, or the middle of the lower edge, may be used as well. The use of other points may be particularly advantageous when viewing documents other than web pages. The reference point may be a user-definable setting, it may be defined by the author of the displayed web page or document, or it may be a default setting in the device. - In terms of the present invention, it should also be noted that the arrival of images is not the only activity that may cause the layout of the
web page 60 to change. For example, in order to make the downloaded content visible more quickly, many web browsers begin rendering the content before they have received the entire marked up document. This forces the browser to estimate the final layout, which causes the mark-up to arrive later (for instance, the content of cells in a table), altering the final layout of theweb page 60. Another example of a situation where the present invention may be utilized involves the use of scripting such as JavaScript and ECMAScript. Because a script can modify, add, or remove content, it can cause changes to the layout at virtually any moment. Yet another situation where the present invention can be used involves the use of external style sheets (CSS) with web pages. If a style sheet arrives after the page rendering begins and contains, for example, size and/or position definitions for objects appearing on the page, a change in page layout can also occur. The present invention can apply to all of these situations and others. -
FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the implementation of one particular embodiment of the present invention. Atstep 500, a user directs his web browser to a web site. Atstep 510, the first portion of theweb page 60 at the web site is transferred to user's electronic device and begins to appear on thedisplay 32 of the electronic device. Atstep 520, the user scrolls through a portion of theweb page 60 as it then appears on thedisplay 32 and begins viewing content. Atstep 530, a reference point is selected by the electronic device based upon a portion of theweb page 60 that appears within thedisplay 32. Atstep 530, an additional portion or a second portion of theweb page 60 is downloaded to the electronic device. Atstep 540, if the additional material is positioned on theweb page 60 above or before the reference point or the currently displayed portion of the page, and therefore would not be positioned within thedisplay 32 at that given moment, then theweb page 60 continues to load without any adjustment of the portion of theweb page 60 appearing on thedisplay 32. If, on the other hand, the new material is to be positioned on theweb page 60 below or after the reference point or the upper first portion of the displayed portion of the page, then atstep 550 the portion of theweb page 60 appearing on thedisplay 32 is adjusted as necessary to incorporate the new material. By “upper first portion,” it is meant the region of the page where a user would normally begin reading. For many languages, this is the upper left hand corner, while it is the upper right hand corner for other languages. Steps 530-550 continue to take place until theentire web page 60 has been downloaded, which is represented atstep 560. As mentioned previously, it is also possible for a document to be locally stored in the system memory. In this case, as the document is being exhibited, the individual portions of the document are received from the memory instead of a remote source. - It should be noted that references to a “first portion” and a “second portion” do not require that the downloading or rendering of material be performed in a certain number of steps. For example, in situations where there a
complex web page 60 is being downloaded over a slow modem connection, it is possible that dozens of steps may be involved in obtaining the entire document. - It should also be noted that the present invention may be implemented for displaying both two-dimensional and three-dimensional content. In the case of three-dimensional content, the same functions that are applied in relation to the x and y-axes can also be applied in relation to the z-axis.
- The present invention is described in the general context of method steps, which may be implemented in one embodiment by a program product including computer-executable instructions, such as program code, executed by computers in networked environments.
- Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Computer-executable instructions, associated data structures, and program modules represent examples of program code for executing steps of the methods disclosed herein. The particular sequence of such executable instructions or associated data structures represents examples of corresponding acts for implementing the functions described in such steps.
- Software and web implementations of the present invention could be accomplished with standard programming techniques with rule-based logic and other logic to accomplish the various database searching steps, correlation steps, comparison steps and decision steps. It should also be noted that the words “component” and “module” as used herein, and in the claims, is intended to encompass implementations using one or more lines of software code, and/or hardware implementations, and/or equipment for receiving manual inputs.
